I love how smooth is photo field, and the way it makes browsing your photos so unique.

I think it’s a neat project!

I remember trying it. A very neat idea beautifully implemented. But switched to IMMICH, more features, closer to what I needed.

Keep up the great job! Having alternatives is always a good thing.

I loved photofield!

Never used calls…

I have gone down the matrix rabbit hole but i choose Continuwity, which is the successor to Conduwuit after the community drama.

It’s a rust server alternative to synapse, it’s lightweight and works very well.

Fuck synapse, it’s a colossal pain for small servers, not worth it. I also actively avoid anything related to the company behind it since I think they poison what matrix could be.

I wish I started with XMPP, but now I am selfhosted on matrix, so.

The GMK seems more configurable and cheaper overall.

Beside this, there is no real difference as far as Linux support, I think.

this is my own experience.

Sure you CAN do it, but it’s much more difficult than anything lse to self-host at home.

Dahua where top of the class, unfortunately hard to find today. I run like 8 of them.

Reolink maybe, but own one and not really at par with Dahua.

If anybody knows who is the successor to dahua, let me know.

Chaper than that, sorry, it’s going to be shit.

Don’t selfhost email at home. Tons of reasons why won’t work, this is only the tip of the iceberg you are facing.

Indeed selfhost a mailserver, I do, but do it on a VPS. Of course, more the better, but a very cheap VPS is the bare minimum you gonna need.

No workaround there.

Unless you want a photo organizer like Immich, you can upload or better maybe link photos in dokuwik.

And you can write entire pages with photos, something you cannot do in immich or similar tools.

Self host dokuwiki. Simple, easy, effective. I do.

Wait, docker doesn’t require any hardware virtualization that’s only for VMs…

Virtualization cpu support only help with performance. You can run VMs without it…

You could even run a VM with full software emulation somehow…

Thanks, i also found this https://github.com/ckulka/infcloud-docker dockerization of infCloud, will try that one when i have time.

What about a web GUI for calendars? Not nextcloud.

Please add, i don’t mind.

I know I don’t need the prompt, i just never remembered to disable it…

Yes I do host my email myself since tens of years.

No I do not self-host it at home

I never noticed… But you are right, there is no autoplay for next episode

Look out for OpenRC. Using it since forever and never missed systemd.

Plain script files, simple, just works. Unless you need any systemd advanced capabilities, OpenRC just rocks.

Navidrome for music, jellyfin for video based media. Audiobookshelf for podcasts and audiobooks.

Get the best of each one, much better.
